If you get a snowstorm in the middle of July, you could say that you are experiencing “abnormal weather.” Something that is abnormal is out of the ordinary, or not typical. Abnormal is a combination of the Latin prefix ab which means “away from,” and the English word normal. It essentially means “not normal,” or "unusual.” Abnormal implies that whatever is “not normal” is also undesirable. However, abnormal is sometimes used in a positive context. The phrase “abnormal intelligence,” for instance, usually refers to someone with especially high intelligence. All forms of 'abnormal' will appear on average once every 871 pages. abnormalcy abnormality abnormally abnormal normal normalcy normalise normality normalize normally subnormal supernormal normalisation normaliser renormalise normalization normalizer renormalize subnormality |
